What are my chances of looking good after en bloc removal?

August 12, 2014
Asked By:harleybluz in Manassas, VA

I am a 57 yr old woman that only weighs 95 lbs.  When I got my gel implants I weighed 117 and it has been 13 yrs since getting them.  I don't want them anymore.  I want an en bloc removal with no implants put back in.  What are my chances of my breast size going from A/B w/o implants to 325cc with implants (a C cup) being back to normal after removal of implant and capsule?  It's really important to me to get these out of my body but I don't want to look freakish to my husband either.  I'm so stressed about this.  The PS I went to completely ignored the fact that I want them out, said he could do it but leaned hard on getting smaller ones.  I think they are making me sick.  I need them out of my body.  Please help if you can.  Will it take a full year before they look close to normal after removal.  The photo's I see right after procedure scare the hell out of me.
